The old lady said again: "Now the road is clear?" ”

"It's clear, old lady." The groom said.

"Hmm."

The carriage slowly drove out of the city gates.

At the gate of the city, there were already some people who had fled, and large piles were piled up not far from the official road, and a fire was raised to cook wild vegetables pulled in the field.

The old lady lifted the curtain and saw this, and the wrinkles on her brow deepened.

Is the disaster already so severe? Why didn't you come back to see Tian'er come back and say it?

When they were in the city before, there were too many carriages, and the guards had to follow behind, and when they got out of the city gates, they rode on both sides.

Therefore, as soon as the old lady waved, Dong Changle, the leader of the guard, rode forward.

"Old lady."

"You send someone to inquire, what is going on? What is the extent of the disaster? Also, send someone to inform the government that if there is no one outside the city for three days, contact the eldest princess and set up a soup kitchen outside the city with the eldest princess. The old lady arranged it step by step, and her brows were still puzzled.

"Old lady is kind." Dong Changle listened to the old lady's words and instantly understood the meaning.

The carriage slowly moved away from the city gate, and when it was about to reach Zhuangzi, it saw a group of people gathered in one place, blocked the road, and the carriage stopped again.

The old lady was irritable, "What's the matter?" What's going on again? ”

The weather was already a little hot, and the matter of the victims was now blocked on the road, and I didn't know when it would arrive, which made the old lady's body a little uncomfortable.

This time, the matter ahead was clear at a glance, and Manu replied, "Old lady, there is a group of ruffians and hooligans in front of you who have surrounded several fleeing women. As if they were robbing them of something. ”

"How can it be!" When Yuan Shanjia heard this, he shouted, "These people are robbing in front of the public, isn't there anyone who cares?" ”

The old lady also frowned, "Manu, you let the guards go up and take a look and stop them." ”

"Yes, old lady." Manu beckoned to the guards who had already come forward and asked them to come forward and take a look.

Dong Changle took the order and rode forward.

I saw five ruffians surrounding three ragged women, teasing them like cats and mice. Didn't even notice the carriage behind him.

"Why don't you run away? Run~Run~" Rogue A smiled lewdly.

"Although the clothes of these women are a little torn, it is not difficult to see that the body is still material, right?"

"Yes, yes, Boss. It's been a long time since we've had a piece of meat. You see......"

……

Two of the three women were young and one had gray hair.

The clothes on their bodies had obviously been worn for a long time, had not been changed, and their faces were smeared with uneven black mud.

Only the neck faintly reveals some fair complexion.

A young woman timidly clung to her burden, not daring to let go.

The old lady stood in front of her, watching warily.

The other young woman looked stubbornly at the hooligans, her eyes flashing with hatred.

The encirclement of a few hooligans is getting smaller and smaller, and they are almost touching a few people.

The old woman hugged the woman who was crying with the burden and comforted: "Miss is not afraid, Miss is not afraid." The old slave will protect the young lady. ”

The other woman calmly held the stone in her hand, gritted her teeth, and slammed it hard when a rascal reached out to touch her.

Dong Changle had already come over at this time, and when he saw the hooligan's behavior, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Who are you?" In broad daylight, how dare you rob on the official road? ”

A few ruffians heard the voice, and someone subconsciously replied, "Which one doesn't want to die and dares to disturb our boss's good deeds?" ”

"Bold!" Dong Chang was happy to see that they dared to reply like this, and his voice immediately became louder, shaking the eardrums of several people, and there was a buzzing sound.

Dong Changle did not dismount, took out a black whip from the side of the horse, and beat the hooligan all over the ground to find his teeth in a few strokes.

After a few hooligans lay on the ground, they came back to their senses and seemed to have provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked, and they wanted to cry without tears.

When they looked closely, they saw that the carriage was carrying the sign of the General's Palace, and they were immediately frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"General, general, spare us, spare us, we won't dare next time."

Dong Changle didn't frown, "First, I'm not a general. Second, if you have done something wrong, you should pay the price. Come, and hand them over to the governor, and they will be kept in the prison for a few days, sober and sober. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several people dismount and tie up five people, one of whom led the rope, and let them follow the horses and run in the direction of the city gate.

"Are you alright?" Dong Changle asked.

The delicate woman was still crying, tears sliding down her face, brushing white marks.

While comforting the woman, the old woman saluted and thanked her, "Thank you for saving my young lady and leading us to find our relatives, there will be heavy thanks." ”

The delicate woman reacted, and when she saw Dong Changle's dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament, her face couldn't help but turn red when she saw this scene again.

Not only because she is shy, but also because she is embarrassed, which makes such a character look ashamed.

So, she hurriedly made a standard lady salute weakly, and hid her face and said, "Thank you for saving this official." If it weren't for the official who came in time, the little woman was afraid that she would ...... Even...... The slave's name is Wu Fanqian, I don't know which one is the name of Engong? When the little woman finds her grandfather, she will be grateful. ”

Even though her face is dirty and embarrassed, the soft beauty on her body is not reduced by half, and she is still charming.

It's a pity that Dong Changle didn't feel any weak aura spread from the other party's body at all, and just said indifferently: "I'm just on the orders of my old lady." It doesn't have to be. ”

When the delicate woman heard this, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, she didn't expect that a person with such a demeanor turned out to be a servant.

But after all, the other party saved himself, so he saluted again, "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, and I don't know if the head of the family is ......"

"My old lady is from the general's mansion, and she doesn't need a big gift, if you really want to repay the favor, pray for her old man's house every New Year's Day." Dong Changle was impatient to entangle with others, so he gave this answer.

Contrary to the delicate woman, although the stubborn woman was rescued, she still held the stone in her hand, looked at Dong Changle and his party vigilantly, and even looked at the convoy behind vigilantly.

It wasn't until she heard that it was the car from the General's Mansion that she breathed a sigh of relief, put down the stone in her hand, and hugged her fist at Dong Changle and thanked: "Thank you for saving me." ”

It's just that her tone is not humble or silent, there are no ups and downs, and it is as hard as a stone. This made Dong Changle look at her more.

"My young lady is the granddaughter of Diao Yiming, a college scholar, I wonder if this guard can ask the old lady to help deliver a letter?" The old woman beside the delicate woman asked respectfully.

Dong Changle listened and replied, "Wait until I ask the old lady." ”

He returned to the carriage and told the old lady the whole thing, asking for her opinion.

The old lady had faintly heard that Diao Yiming's eldest daughter was married to the young master of the Wu family in the south, so although she was a little confused, she still did not refuse such a trivial matter, and even decided to help them again.
